The festival runs through Sunday, and visitors can find unique items that are all made by hand. More than 250 craftsmen from all over the country will be there.

11 News reporter Jennifer Franciotti found Bob Dewitt there. He's a woodworker from western Pennsylvania and everything he makes -- from bowls to utensils -- starts out as a rather large tree.

"Big sugar maples, cherry, ash, walnut -- when we get them out of the kilns, we downsize the pieces into big pieces for bowls and smaller pieces for spoons," Dewitt explained.

He said it's an intense 40-step or so process using a chisel and mallet.

"The mallets are pushed through the wood," Dewitt said.

Other old-fashioned tools are used to make the items with a quality meant to last generations. That gives artist like Dewitt a sense of pride and accomplishment that he transmits to customers.

"I just had the experience of making this. Then I go onto the next piece, and then somebody picks this up and looks at it and responds to it, and that brings it full circle for me -- that feeling a person feels. I tell them they can't have it unless the promise to use it every day," Dewitt said. "That's why this show is so cool. You can connect with the people who actually made that piece."

Items at the festival range from $1 to thousands of dollars. Tickets are $10 at the door, and they're good for all three days of the event.
